About the project
EU agrifood sector is facing significant crises and transitions that affect the industry competitiveness and viability. Greater resilience and ability to respond to disturbances are needed to ensure the competitiveness and viability of the agrifood system – policy makers must recognize this need and adjust the strategies for policy implementation accordingly.
The resilience of agrifood industry need digitalization and adoption of emerging technologies. However, as agrifood is typically a smart specialization priority in rural regions, there is an inherent lack of innovation capacity due to limited number of actors, networks, and cross-sectoral connections in EU.
The project is accelerating the digital transition in the agrifood system by promoting inter-regional innovation partnerships and transfer of solutions across the regions. This means capacity building of policy authorities on mission-oriented innovation policy approach and innovative digital and technology solutions.Â
